Experimenting with smoothies is always fun for me. I usually end up discovering my best smoothies when I run out of mixed berries, which is what I make my daily smoothies out of. Once I run out of those I am forced to get creative. This particular smoothie was one of those moments. I had just been to Whole Foods but forgot to pick up frozen berries, but I still had a package of frozen mangoes in the freezer. During my trip to Whole Foods I had picked up a batch of rainbow chard.
Rainbow chard can be identified by its large fan like leaves. The base of the stem is usually multicolored – pink, red, orange and yellow, the leaves are a dark green with red veins and stalks. Rainbow chard wilts quickly though, so be sure you plan on using it within a couple of days if you decide to purchase some. This particular chard is also sweeter than most, thus making it ideal for smoothies. Unlike kale, you will barely notice it’s there.
- 2 large leaves Rainbow Chard (or your choice of greens)
- 5 oz frozen mango (half a 10 oz package)
- 1 banana
- 3 TBSP almond butter
- 4 TBSP RAW honey
- 1 cup vanilla hemp seed milk
- 4 TBSP hemp seed protein powder (optional)
